X Window firm AGE Logic is just starting to figure out that X Window is the key to interoperability between Unix and NT and a solid reason to pay X some mind, reports ClieNT Server News. It was the fact that WABI, Sun Microsystems Inc’s way of running Windows applications on Unix, used X Windows as the translator between the two systems that got AGE to thinking. Microsoft has left it to third parties to provide X connectivity for NT so San Diego, California-based AGE has come up with some PC X server software for it called Xoftware/32 for Windows NT. It adds 32-bit X11.5 server capability to 80386, 80486 and Pentium-based NT system so users can concurrently access and display Windows, NT and network-based Unix applications on the same personal computer. AGE has added enhancements like CascadeX so windows can be positioned in a Microsoft-like cascading format or the standard X Window System geometry format and the Colour Map Reservation System to optionally override the standard X colour map routine and run the NT colour map instead for clarity and consistency. The stuff will sell for $500 in single user versions when NT ships – for $1,000 AGE will provide three pre-released copies of its software, priority technical support and free upgrades.
